BBQ

well kids, i'm staying her through the end of the year. that means if you have any funds, you should come visit. the fall will be really pretty.

yesterday my lunch consisted of BBQ pork sandwich with hot sauce, macaroni and cheese, fried okra (my first time, not too bad), a couple hush puppies (also delicious), and UNsweet tea. in greer, SC. don't look it up, it's not a destination.

i went to a BBQ on memorial day and saw my first whole pig being roasted in a cinder-block contraption. yep, the whole pig. teeth bared, eyes still there. the middle cut open ad splayed out. it was only a 55-pounder. apparently they usually do the 100-pounder. as a southern-BBQ virgin, my friend griffin gave me the first piece cut right from wilbur.

my word it was delicious. the flavoring was n.carolina style BBQ, with simply vinegar, cider, and red pepper flakes. best meat i have ever eaten. i cannot be a vegetarian here. it's that simple.

and yes, i'm starting to like it here. (the BBQ helps).

do they haphazardly slaughter 100 lb. animals, sprinkle them with vinegar, red pepper flakes and serve them up with fried okra? because if they do, i'm never coming to visit--it's too frickin' dangerous in the south.
